Itinerary description

Show original

Great circular route that we started in the funicular that takes you to the top of the Sandía Mountains. The journey takes 15 minutes and becomes very pleasant with the guide's explanations. After we left the complex and went around the stairs to take the light trail that takes us all the time down. The views throughout the tour are scandalous. Very beautiful and very panoramic. Well indicated and without lost, basically because as you get out of the way you end up stumbling down a ravine. In the absence of 1 mile to reach the end or start of the trail light (as seen) a sign tells you the way to the Tramway where we have parked the car. At first it is down, but then it becomes a rise and fall that with the heat and sweat, it can become a bit exasperating. Still, the route is an egg and a half and is an outstanding way to know the wonderful watermelon Mountains.

Attention: With the rattlesnakes in the lower part of the route ... I always see one each time it passed by here
